subject: The Role Of An Office Table In Your Business [print this page] Office tables enable an employee to arrange required materials when he has to write or read something by keeping it all easily accessible on the table. They provide large space where additional materials like computers, stationery etc can be placed apart from regular reading and writing material. Generally most of the desks have more than two drawers where we can store paper and other office supplies. Some office desks can be used only on one side and can accommodate the use of one chair. There are other types of tables which can be used on either side, such types of tables are usually very large in size and some time they can accommodate more than one chair on either side.
The concept of using tables for employee started during late in the 18th century when paper work and photography increased at the times of war. Earlier, typewriters were used and a lot of paper work was made using the typewriter so an elevated table large enough to accommodate the typewriter and its paper work were built. The very first office desks used were made of steel since steel has high durable strength and can carry heavy weight, being heavy and hard to move this steel table were replaced by wooden tables. Wooden tables being lighter but still can carry heavy weight was used during computer era where the computer terminal, its CPU, UPS and other connecting devices like printer etc were accommodated on a single wooden table, and still being practiced but with an advancement of using PVC coating over the table.
The practice of using office desks was mainly targeted to increase the productive outcome of the employee and to increase their working time. By using office tables a person can lean on it while doing his reading and writing work. This greatly reduces the physical stress which he endures by standing and doing his work. They are sturdy in design and provide great comfort to the employee.
